NEW YORK (U R Cigar-
smoking Connie Marrero, the!
Cuban curver, put the St. Louisiayne lanaea on jviaunews cum
Browns on pop-fly rations Tues-lfirst round. Layne failed to take
day night as he pitched . the j have ended the sensational record
Washington Senators to a four- minutes. ...
hit, 2-to-0, victory that moved
them to within two games of the
first place Cleveland Indians.
', Marrero was spectacular all the
way. He struck out eight batters
and walked but two. The rest of
the time the Browns were popping
up futilely. Nine fly balls went to
the outfield; six more were easy
pops to the infield; there were
.pop fouls to catcher Mickey Gras
o. And on the only ball hit on
the ground that didn't go for a
hit, Marrero himself threw out
the batter:
. It was Marrero's fourth straight
triumph without a defeat. He
had only one bad inning, the
eighth, when the Browns made
two of their hits. Singles by
Clint Courtney and pitcher Tom
my Byrne put runners on first
and third but Marrero retired the
side when Marty Marion flied
out.
THE SENATORS made both of
their runs in the third inning
when they bunched three of their
rune hits off Byrne. Eddie Yost
walked to start the inning, and
Jim Busby, Jackie Jensen and
Archie Wilson followed with suc
cessive singles for the only tal
lies of the game. Four double
plays helped Byrne out of other
jams.
In the only other game played
In the Majors in another program
bob-tailed by rain-forced post
ponements, the Yankees made an
early 4-0 lead stand up for right
hander Johnny Sain against the
white Sox and went on to win
4-3.
Sain, the National League cast
off from the Braves who has
become the Yankees' most con
sistent winner, pitched six-hit
ball, but was in frequent trouble
in the late going. The victory put
the Yankees into undisputed pos
session of fourth place, 3'4
games behind the first place In
aians. It was Sain s fourth vic
tory against but. one defeat.
The Yankees, getting all of
their runs in the first five innings,
depended mainly upon switch
swinger Mickey Mantle who was
in the midst of most of the scor
ing with four hits.
SAIN PITCHED hitless ball for
four innings. In the fifth Eddie
Robinson walked to become the
first Chicago base - runner and
cored on singles by Sam Mele
and Chico Carrasqual. The other
Chicago runs were unearned.
They came in the sixth when Hec
tor Rodriquez singled with two
out and substitute first baseman,
Irv Noren, fumbled Robinson's
grounder. Ray Coleman" singled to
load the bases and Mele drove in
two-Tuns with another single.
" The Philadelphia at Detroit and
Boston and Boston at Cleveland
games in the American League
were rained out and the entire
National League slate, Cincinnati
.at Brooklyn, St. Louis at New
York, Chicago at Boston, and
Pittsburgh at Philadelphia, also
had to be called off.

ir When Rex Layne and Kid Matthews fight again in
Portland, possibly an open-air show at Multnomah Stadium In
July make your reservations early. We ean guarantee an even better
brawl than Monday night's good "heavyweight" fight at Portland's
PI Pavilion. . . . There were quite a few doubting Thomases who
thought that Rocky Marciano and Ezzard Charles had taken the
starch out of the comparatively young (24 in June) Layne
and Rex himself feared that they might be correct. . . . But
after he crawled off the canvas in the second round and then
absorbed five of Matthews' best righthanded punches in the fourth
round, the 198-pound Layne seemed to absorb confirence every
following round. ...
Lawne was the aggressor throughout the fight, but in the early
stages he couldn't find the target and at no time did the agile
Matthews eive him a chance to land his best punch a left up-
percut with his opponent on the ropes. Layne, as solid as a rock,
hits like a mule with either hand and would probably have a bet
ter chance against a slower heavyweight target than the fast-stepping
and quick-punching Matthews. . . .
Jack "Professor" Hurley, after His "Atnietes" oesi roruana
fight since the Idaho native has
fans, is talking in terms of Marciano apparently overlooking
the contract for a return bout that genial Marv Jensen carries
in his wallet. The contract has provisions, but the one that re-
quires a "good fight" for a rematch certainly isn t one of them.
- Hurley, and Matthews, too, probably recall the left hook
Matchmaker-Promoter Tex Salkeld would likely recover quickly
from a heart attack, suffered before the main event Monday, if he I
books the rematch open-air with a crowd of some 30,000 and'
a $150,000 gate.

fight that he, too, believes he
like to try and also says that
Jensen, Layne's manager, is a wealthy mink farmer and breeds
prize show animals. ... In a recent show he collected more
than 30 prizes with about 12 pairs of mink. . . . He has probably
netted something like $60,000 with his mink in three years and
will do well with Layne if Rex can notch one impressive victory.
The crowd of 10,600 was the largest indoor sports gathering in
state history and the largest fight crowd since the Jack Dempsey-Jim
Byrne (Coos Bay) exhibition at McArthur Court the night of Sep
tember 4, 1931. . . . That local exhibition attracted "more than
8,000 cash customers" rather than the more than 10,000 we had been
led to believe these 21 years. . . .

HIGH JUMP HOPE Oregon's Emery Barnes looms as a possible first-place winner In this week
end's PCC track meet at Hay ward Field. Barnes has cleared 6'8" thin year and won the Northern
Division mark with a 6'6" leap. The PCC runoffs will be held Friday and Saturday with the pre
liminaries the first afternoon and the finals on Saturday.
PCC Form Sheet
(Editors note: This is the third
in a series of articles on the
PCC track championships at
Hayward Field Friday and Sat
urday, Tickets are now on sale
at McArthur Court, John War
ren's Hardware, and Hender
shott's.) By BERNIE HAMMERBECK
F.C.C. mbllcltr Director
High Jump
Most difficult event to predict
is the high jump where the per
formers have been most inconsist
ent. Emery Barnes, off his spec
tacular 6 ft. 8 in. leap against Ore
gon State, must be figured prom
inently. If he could come near
that mark again, the event would
be all his. Eric Roberts of Wash
ington State' and George Widen
fell of Washington have been the
most reliable jumpers and can be
counted on to clear 6 ft. 5 in.
Manual Ronquillo, most con
sistent of three USC jumpers, is
of about the same caliber. Team
mate Dick Brombach has a best of
6 ft. 6 in. and the Trojans' No. 3
man, Jerry Kincheloe, has topped
8 ft. 4 in. It appears that this
sextet should have the event
sewed up. Probable finish: 1
Barnes, 2 Roberts, 3 Widenfelt,
4 Brombach, 5 Ronquillo.
Pole Vault
Oregon State's Lyle Dickey is
the defending champion and fa
vorite in the pole vault but may
have to be at his best to outdo
come through" performances by
several others. Ray Packwood of
Oregon could approach Dickey as
could Len Eilers, of UCLA, a con
sistent 13 ft. 6 vaulter. USC has
three unpredictable entrants, Le-
Roy Cox, Al Sandusky and Frank
Johnson Cox and Sandusky hav
ing topped 13 ft. 9 in. during the
season.
California's Dave Seed is coming
along fast after a poor start and
has cleared 13 ft. 6 in. while team.
mate Larry Anderson (a fresh
man who had four fingers blown
off in a chemistry lab accident last
fall) is undoubtedly the most cour.
ageous vaulter in the West and has
$ uck . expert
S. With
( ' . I ' ,. It f
cleared 13 ft. 4 in. Dave Martin
dale of Idaho is another contender.
Probable finish: 1 Dickey, 2
Tie between Packwood and Eilers,
3 Tie among Martindale, Seed,
Sandusky and Cox.
Shot Put
The weight events are practical
ly a closed shop for Stanford and
Southern California with USC's
Parry O'Brien an overwhelming
favorite in the shot-put. O'Brien
has been out over 56 feet this year
and should erase his own Hayward
Field record of 53 ft. 4Vi in. He
is backed by teammates Bob Van
Doren (51 ft. 8Vi in.) and Des
Koch, a 50-foot performer. Stan
ford's trio is led by Howard Hertz
(53 ft. BVi in.), Chuck Hokanson
(52 ft. 8 "A in.) and Bob Mathias.
California's contender is Sam
Adams (51 ft. 5 in.), while other
possibilities include Duane Eby,
Oregon State (5 ft. 10Vi in.),
Chet Noe, Oregon (48 ft. 11 'A in.)
and Leo Roininen of WSC. Prob
able finish: 1 O'Brien, 2 Hertz,
3 Hokanson, 4 Adams, 5 Van
Doren.
Discus
Only a superb throw by Stan
ford's versatile Bob Mathias
stands between Sim Iness of
Southern California and the dis
cus title. The 6 ft. 6 in. Iness laid
claim for a new American record
in March when he sailed the disc
182 ft. 5 in. and has six other
winning tosses in excess of 170
feet. Mathias, it must be re
membered, got the best discus
throw of his life at Hayward
field last year at 173 ft. 4 in.
Mathias is backed up by team
mates Chuck Renfro and Ian
Reed, both 160-foot throwers as
are Parry O'Brien and Des Koch
of the Trojans. Probable finish:
1 Iness, 2 Mathias, 3 Koch, 4
Renfro, 5 Reed.
